"Of course one can design a restricted environment in which such control and such patterns…can be demonstrated, but there is no reason to suppose that any more is learned about the range of human potentialities by such methods than would be learned by observing humans in prison or an army- or in many a schoolroom." (Chomsky, 1972:114)

The Crippled Creativity hypothesis

describes the correlation between empty linguistic organism and human malleability.

That is, linguistic creativity may be crippled by the outside sociality and

mental linguistic algorithm may be controlled by social rules.

This interface between psyche and society is called as Y -( psi or psycho-social) property.

These Y/psi-Property reasserts that the being is always in the being-in-the-(social)world as well as being-for-others.

NB: The following questions were posed in connection with Chomsky’s letter dated April 26, 1994:

1) “It is reasonable to suppose that just as intrinsic structures of mind underlie the development of cognitive structures, so a “species character” provides the framework for the growth of moral consciousness, cultural achievement, and even participation in a free and just community human needs and capacities will find their fullest expression in a society of free and creative producers...” (Chomsky: l976:133-34)

SED CONTRA: On the contrary, in case of NON- “free and just community”, what happens to the species character of human being? Or following Foucault, one may ask, “How has the concept of human nature functioned in our society?”

2) “Suppose that the social and material conditions that prevent free intellectual development were relieved....” (Chomsky: l976: 124)

SED CONTRA: What happens to “creativity”, if these social and material conditions that prevent free intellectual development are reigning in its full form by subjugating human nature?

3) “.... there must be continual struggle against authoritarian social forms that impose restrictions beyond those set by ‘the laws of nature’ “(Chomsky: 1976:133).

SED CONTRA: What happens to the victims of authoritarian oppression? What happen to their creativity?
